The Employment Permits Section of the Department informs me that, on 30thSeptember 2022, a General Employment Permit application for the person concerned (in the details supplied) was received.
On 23rdNovember 2022 the application was refused for several reasons. The applicant was informed of the refusal reasons and of their right to request a review of the refusal decision within 28 days from the date the refusal letter issued.
The refusal letter clearly stated that should the applicant wish the decision to be reviewed they may do so within twenty-eight (28) days from the date of the refusal letter, and that any such submission must be made on the prescribed form which is available on the Department of Enterprise, Trade & Employment's website at . They were also informed that the request for a review form must then be emailed to the Reviewing Officer at ".
Subsequent correspondence was received from the applicant, but a request for a review was not received.
The Employment Permits section emailed the applicant on 19thDecember to inform them of the review request process.
On 19thDecember 2022 a request for a review was received from the applicant on the prescribed form which is currently being considered by the Employment Permits team. I understand that the reviewing officer has been in contact with the applicant and is awaiting additional information before a decision can be made.
